I am certain a MS+Sega would have become a dominant force where MS focused on hardware and Sega on software. Then we would've seen all episodes of Shenmue, I am not so sure of that now though.


I'm sure M$ would have paid for that in full and note embarrass Sega by prancing them on stage and asking for money for them.

Are you so sure about that?  Where was Microsoft when Sony is helping out with Shenmue 3?  Where is Microsoft helping out Capcom by funding Street Fighter V like Sony did?  If they don't want another fighting game because they have Killer Instinct, then why didn't we hear them state that they will be funding Devil May Cry 5?  I mean seriously...Capcom just announced that they will wait and see if they can make DMC 5 based off of the sales of DMC 4 special edition.  This article surfaced just days before E3 and Microsoft could have jumped on it, but they didn't.  Capcom is practically begging for someone to fund them and "M$", with all of their money, is doing what? It is funny how a company who has tons of money is doing nothing for gaming, while the company that is "going bankrupt" is helping out developers left and right.

"Mr. Itsuno revealed that he doesn’t know if he will be able to make another numbered entry of the series so if players don’t want to wait another seven years for another game or let Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition become the last release of the series they need to support the new release and let Capcom know what they think of it. Apparently the game will be coming with a special survey that will be used to gather feedback on the game. If you’re a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series, you know what to do in around ten days."

How is that, what is shown above, any different than a kickstarter?  So if Sony helped out Capcom with this game, would you lash out at Sony for doing a charity/funding for DMC 5?  Where were you complaining and sharing your feelings about the "charity" when the Street Fighter V announcement surfaced?
